Victoria Falls is a breathtaking waterfall that spans a mile, cascading over glistening basalt rock and plunging into the canyons below. The walls of basalt rock that line the mighty Zambezi River create an awe-inspiring river corridor, which is believed to be the domain of the Nyaminyami, the River God of the Tonga people. This is where our rafts glide along the river. Guests can opt for an “oar boat” or a “paddle boat.” The “oar boat” is steered by the guide, who uses 12-foot-long oars from the middle of the raft. Guests sit in the front and rear of the raft, gripping the safety line around the perimeter. The “paddle boat” requires passengers to actively assist the guide in navigating the rapids and calm stretches. Guests sit around the edges of the boat and paddle but do not hold onto the safety line. Please note that the walk into and out of the gorge is steep and rugged, necessitating a moderate level of fitness. The walkout is approximately 750 feet to the top of the gorge. Once you arrive at the top, cold beer, soft drinks, and water will be available for guests to enjoy.
